Very comfy and spacious. 200hp engine! beats the BMW 318 and C180K (which is due for replacement anyway). If I could keep tha car for 10 years then it would be a good buy. really value for money at RM 230 K. But if you get fed up with it you'll have a tough time disposing it at a decent price. Also don't know about the after sales service. (I just sold my 3 year old peugeot 307SW cos no one in Ipoh seems to be able to repair my jerky tiptronic gear. ) Also if there is a tie up with proton and they assemble it here the price will drop instantly.

Located in Tampoi, in between Honda & Hyundai showrooms. Looks like VW is heating up to promote its brand, esp in bigger cities. I simply love VW Touareg!! Muscular yet so refine. Great SUV!

Simply put, there aren't enough savy people who are aware of VW in Malaysia. If you look at the Passat, it's priced comparably with a C180K and a 318, yet the specs and performance are much better. Same with the GTI, you can't buy anything with better handling or performance at or below that price. I don't think it's ao much a matter of pricing, as much as it is about branding.

I beetle 1.6 looks tempting but it can be some wat kemp to drive that car. Somehow, i don't think VW generates taht much interest in Malaysia as the pricing just makes it not worth it to buy them.
